and Herbert +. Hannis left at an early
hour on Monday morning for a weeks
clmping out aud fishing, on the Poto-

they carried a goodly supply of bait and
other necessaries for we'll regulated

led the party as caterer and cook. They

Wednesday, saying he was catching all
the fish in the river. We never saw a
single fish he caught, and therefore,
think he meant to say "the fish are
catching all the bait We have" loutside
of bottles--of ice-waterl. Just shut
your eyes, reader, and imagine you see
that camp Frank Williams on keg,
trying to bit Crum Curtis with putty
blower Frank Farnsworth fighting
the musquitos Sam Freeze smoking,
with an eye on Williams putty blower;
John Homrich lingering foot rule,
trying to patch up fish story AID.

hymns Of the frogs and John Will

man has been so successfully hidden
for twenty years. Come now, Bro. Fra
zier, sing for us.
